Black Box VSW-HDMI8X8-B overview

1Description

The 8 x 8 HDMI Matrix Switch from Black Box allows you to route video and audio from any input to any output, and supports resolutions up to 1080p and 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA). It can be used as a router, with each input assigned a single output, or it can distribute a single input across two or more--even all--outputs. The device can be controlled locally using front-panel buttons, or remotely with the included IR remote. In addition, an RS-232 port means you can operate it centrally from software or using an automation system.

The switcher features EDID (Extended Device ID) management tools to ensure the sending devices and displays are all operating at the optimal common resolution and quality settings. EDID can be "learned" from connected displays, or can be conveniently selected from built-in EDID tables to save time.

Great idea, all dead within 2.5 years.We purchased 6 - this had the functionality we wanted, but every single one stopped switching video within 2.5 years of purchase. Not the longevity we needed in an Enterprise that buys equipment once every 3-5 years.
